Sonia Martin is one of the most experienced practitioners on the Gold Coast, with over 30 years specialising in permanent makeup and cosmetic tattooing.
Typically, results last between 1 to 5 years depending on the service, skin type, and lifestyle. A touch-up is suggested every 12 to 18 months to maintain vibrancy.
Most clients report only slight discomfort. We use high-quality numbing creams to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
Microblading is a type of semi-permanent tattooing that uses a manual tool for hair-like strokes. In contrast, cosmetic tattooing (or permanent makeup) often uses a machine for longer-lasting shading and definition.
Yes, Sonia Martin specialises in corrective tattooing. If you have previous work that is uneven or has changed colour, a consultation can help determine the best approach for correction.
Absolutely. Sonia follows strict Australian health and safety guidelines, using single-use sterile needles and pigments that comply with international safety standards.
Sonia maps your face based on golden ratio proportions to ensure your new brows complement your bone structure and natural features.
The initial healing takes about 5 to 7 days. The colour will look bright at first but will soften by 40 to 60 percent to reveal a natural hue.
Yes, but you need to take out your lenses during the procedure and wear glasses for 24 hours afterwards.
While it’s not always required, a confidential assessment is recommended for medical tattooing, scar camouflage, or corrective work.
Sonia has done my Eyeliner and Lip Liner as well as a full Lip Colour, such an artist as she knows how to shape your features to their best potential. I would never trust anyone else with my Face.
Sonia has an expert eye and a steady hand which results in a perfect natural look complimenting the area she’s tattooing beautifully. She also has a gentle touch and refreshing honest, kind client service. I cannot recommend Sonia highly enough.
I had my Eyeliner done over ten years ago, Sonia has applied my permanent Eyeliner twice and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
She is professional and mature and has many years of experience, in the cosmetic tattooing industry.
I have had a professional relationship with Sonia Martin for the past 10 years. I have always found her to be the ultimate professional. She has had a great eye for detail. I love my brows thank you Sonia.
I had my eyebrows done with Sonia six years ago and they still look fabulous today. I have very fair features so my eyebrows help to frame my face and accentuate my eyes beautifully
Sonia did my Eyebrows, Eyeliner and Full Lip Colour. She does fantastic work and is undoubtedly the best on the Coast…..her high standards of Care, Patience and Professionalism ensures that her customers remain loyal to her and keep coming back. I have no hesitation in referring my customers to Sonia.
As a Professional Beauty Therapist, I saw first hand the expert work by Sonia on a few of her clients that I worked on. They all raved about her work so I subsequently decided to get my Lipliner done.
I now recommend Sonia on a regular basis and always get positive feedback. I have seen a lot of other work from other Cosmetic Tattoo artists and I must say that Sonia consistently produces the best results and I would highly recommend her for her outstanding work.
I just wanted to let you know that you have done a wonderful job tattooing my brows. I never had much hair growth, particularly at the end of the brows whilst it did worry me, I was concerned about having them tattooed as I thought they may not look natural. They look fantastic and friends have also commented on how natural they look.
Two years ago I had my Eyebrows tattooed by another cosmetic tattoo artist and I was very disappointed with the result. I heard about Sonia and her excellent work so decided to consult her to see if she could correct the mistakes made to my face. I am thrilled with her work as she reshaped my cosmetic tattooing beautifully.
As an owner of three beauty salons on the Gold Coast, I always recommend Sonia to any client wishing to have Permanent Make-Up as I know her work is excellent.
She has also done my lipliner and eyeliner, both of which I am extremely happy with.
Lovely lady and takes her time to make her work perfect.
Sonia is a lovely lady, very professional, and many years of experience in her art.
